What You Should Know About Me
Back in 2001, having had a very successful executive and management career, I was faced with a life changing decision…relocation or redundancy? Either way, it was an uncertain future. Deep down, I knew It was time to move on, so redundancy (lay-off) became the springboard to break free and achieve something very different in my working life. This was the start of my career transition journey into the unknown. A huge learning experience, during which I discovered new passions for career and personal development, new skills and also rekindled past skills. My ‘voyage of self-discovery’ gave me a whole new perspective, courage to take the ‘leap of faith’, change career and set up my own business.
Fast forward two decades, I'm well established as 'The Career Catalyst' ®... a leading Career Coach, Internationally acclaimed Author, Speaker, Creator of Breakthrough Career & Personal Development Courses and a unique, proven, empowering, 6 Step Career Change process, which has helped to transform the careers and lives of 1000's of people around the globe.
Recognised as an expert in supporting career professionals to achieve successful career changes, transitions following redundancy and lay-offs, or creating Portfolio Careers and blended working lifestyles, I have been featured in radio interviews, podcasts, webinars, blogs, trade journals and national media in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Why The Career Catalyst?
Because when I canvassed clients and valued contacts, to establish a personal brand as an Author and for my Career & Personal Development Coaching and Online Courses, the unanimous view was "my passion and the impact of my Coaching and empowering 6 Step Career Change Process act as the catalyst for achieving successful career change or transitions following redundancy/lay-offs".
This view was further reinforced by the world famous Personal Development & Success guru, Brian Tracy, who not only publicly endorsed my first 2 books but also sent me a personal message of thanks for my Career Coaching work and thought leadership. To achieve these accolades from such an amazing man and an Author of over 70 global best-selling books, I am truly proud and humbled.
My Mantra:
"You spend more waking hours at work than in any other activity. Life is too short so why be unhappy? Take the 'leap of faith' and do what you love!"
Sounds good? Great...so let's get started! I would love to think that I can act as the catalyst to help YOU get started on your journey to achieve a breakthrough career change or transition success!
